no moe? no mecha? no superhuman ablility? this show has none of the elements of today's anime

but after watching eps 1, i have a feeling i will finish the series

the best thing is the chars are introduced while getting whacked

Well, that's today's anime.
In ten years, we will (probably) forget the anime of today's because they are so similar to each others, but we are unlikely to ever forget RAINBOW since it stands out during its time. In a good, GRIMDARK way.

In fact, if done right, RAINBOW can stands out in the history of anime...

Whoah! And now for something completely different. Like, actual gritty drama, with deep downs and sudden high ups. I can see why it could seem to have gone overboard, but it worked for me. Koyama Rikiya as Sakuragi: just perfect. My only problem might be not wanting to spend however many weeks in hell.

Lol, melodrama (and way, waaaaay ham of a bgm). I didn't really expect much to be honest (after hearing it'd be directed by the guy who did Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro), still I didn't imagine something this awkward and mawkish.

Which part of its is awkward if you care to explain ?
well if do you mean the setting, i don't find its awkward because I know that "Hell" is really does exist.
And thats occur at least 40 year on my country....

But if what you mean is directing or technical aspect...
well its matter of taste really, I personally feel think the directing is really similar to the Mouryou no Hako, and that a good things.

And i look many people complaining about the narrator too, which i finds its weird... Hayashibara Megumi doing a great job for this, her voice really building the moods of viewer (or at least for me lol). BUT Masato Hagiwara will be more Perfect choice's ...

Yes, I was reminded of that film as well--actually I feel like that is a downside, since I've certainly seen a group of young friends languishing away in brutal juvenile detention before, but I'll see how this goes.

Man the anime its a good drama this is something that i was looking for this season something different, dark, strong story. btw first time hearing coldrain (must be cause they seem to be famous only in jp) but the opening song its pretty good, anyway this anime its unique so ill keep my eyes on it .

Damn episode 2 was some strong stuff. The episode was well executed from the music and animation. I do feel bad for Joe and Megu, I hope they meet again someday but that is probably just wishful thinking.

It's obvious that Joe wasn't able to escape with Megu since he had been caught but her speech had just killed his will to live. Plus if she hadn't stopped the argument, the grandma could have been sentenced. Maybe she don't want Joe to escape again and have problems but it's still cruel. And how will Megu deal with this ... father ? D:
